Answer: An important theme I noticed in this chapter of A Christmas Carol is the importance of choices. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come leads Scrooge to a graveyard at the end of the chapter. Here, Scrooge asks the ghost whether it has shown him “shadows of the things that Will be” or “shadows of things that May be.” Scrooge realizes the future that the ghost shows him can be avoided if he makes different choices in the present. This excerpt reflects the theme of the importance of our choices:
"Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead," said Scrooge. "But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change."
